THE TEXT

 

A Caring Puma

 

(1) Daniel Olin was 11 years old when his parents moved to Edmonton in Canada. He

liked his new school and made friends there, but then things at home started to change.

His mum and dad began to argue and the arguments got worse until one day, Daniel’s

mum left. With his father working long hours, Daniel felt very alone and very unhappy.

He wanted to escape, to run away. And that’s what he did.

 

(2) Very early one cold morning when the snow was deep on the ground, he packed a

bag with some clothes, his Walkman, some chocolate and a map of Canada and set off.

He ran and ran until he could hardly breathe. Suddenly, a rock hidden by the deep snow

caught his ankle and Daniel fell to the ground, crying in pain. He had broken his leg. And

no one knew where he was to help him. He was very cold and was starting to feel tired,

but he knew that if he fell asleep in the snow, he would almost certainly die from the

cold.

 

(3) From within the branches of a tall tree, a pair of yellow eyes watched Daniel. The

puma had been stalking him . A puma is a powerful cat with claws that could cut Daniel

into pieces. But instead of moving in for the kill, the puma approached Daniel and lay

across his chest and limbs. Daniel was too frightened to move, but soon the warmth of

the animal reached Daniel and he began to feel better. From time to time, the puma

pressed his muzzle against Daniel and rocked his head gently. Clearly, the puma knew

that Daniel must not fall asleep. This animal should have been a real danger to Daniel

and yet the boy began to feel safe.

 

(4) They remained like that for several hours until Daniel and the puma heard voices.

The rescue team had found them.
